I think it's awesome how many people are starting to realize the quality of dogs in the moonlight blood but the other day I saw a post on a website talking about the moonlight kennel from Alabama...so I gotta give credit were credit is due Shane's done an awesome job with Rogers dogs but Dan and his handlers are the ones who picked and trained these dogs from pups the moonlight blood and name is still from Dan Biggert who owned or bred about 95% of the big named moonlight dogs so to me that's amazing from Kate on down every one of the "favorites" of everyone in this post from the real moonlight blood not Rogers rip off kennel all started in the same yard! Maybe insted of asking Rogers handlers about the blood...asking the only man who really knows. Oh and Shane I got one of those pups from Kate and billy how's the rest if the litter doing?
I guess I didn't see the post you are talking about Jessie, but I have never heard Rodger take any credit for the 3 Moonlight dogs he now owns. But I will give Rodger Shabel the credit he deserves because alot of people may not realize it...but he had a hand in the Moonlight line of dogs eventually being reproduced.
You see I raised and trained Billy and he was Kate's grand dad....but if you look even further back Rodger Shabel owned Famous Amos who was Billy's grand dad. Famous Amos was the sire of both Billy's father, Burning Ben.....who was also the father of Kate's sire, Saline River Ratt. So actually, with Kate being heavy Famous Amos both top (through Ratt) and bottom (through Billy) Rodger's Amos dog played a very big role in Kate's breeding.
Alton Key, myself and several others really got behind the Outlaw dogs early on and showed what they could do....but before us there were guys like Rodger Shabel and Roger Gibson who showed what the Amos dogs could do.....and then more recently there is Danny Biggert, Mark Marshall, Dave Gallaher, Todd Mathewson, and many other handlers who showed what the decendents of the Amos and Outlaw dogs could do in the strain they put their touch on called the Moonlight dogs. Another important person who fits in with this group and has been very influential with his breeding program is John Biggert. He promotes an offshoot of the line Kate made famous through his Nighty Night line which is also a big winning line who shares common ancestry with all the dogs mentioned above. I am just happy to be part of (even if it's only a small part) what is going on in the redbone breed ...in the past, and in the present. Good luck with your pup Jessie and I will see you and Spud in the winners circle
